You can buy a mini ratchet set from "Drapers" as well as sockets and allan key heads which certainly help if you have mobility problems.

Last time I saw Metallica was in 2009, Great concert, we had general admission tickets. Right on the floor on the fence. Front row all night. Of course I lost my hearing for almost a week after.

Anyway following are the basic screwdrivers I use for my Heng Long and Taigen Tanks.

The red and black Phillips head, or cross head are what I use to remove most wheels.

The clear/grey&red handled one was supplied from Heng Long with my tank when I bought it from Toucan.

The Hex wrenches I use as well. 2mm seems to be the preferred size for alot.

Chef

PS me and the wife went on a concert binge for a couple of years 10 or so years ago. Lots of great concerts, Metallica, AC/DC, Motley Crue, and the list goes on...
